Scripture & Discernment

The book explores the decision-making processes within the church, emphasizing the need for alignment between its identity as a faith community and its actions. Luke Timothy Johnson argues that decisions should be informed by Scripture and a communal process of discernment, guided by the Holy Spirit. He illustrates this approach through biblical narratives, particularly in Acts, highlighting how early Christians navigated God's direction. By addressing contemporary challenges, Johnson advocates for a decision-making model that integrates scriptural authority with collective discernment.
